Rip Curl GromSearch National Final Is Coming To The Palm Springs Surf Club

The 2023 Rip Curl GromSearch is here. With stops landing in Huntington Beach, Kewalos Basin in Hawaii and New Smyrna Beach in Florida, the action will culminate in the first-ever high-profile surf contest in the brand new Palm Springs Surf Club. With groms around the United States frothing to pull on the jersesy and earn a trip to Palm Springs, this summer is going to be a scorcher. Stay tuned for more details and annoucements to come. 

The Rip Curl GromSearch presented by Banzai Bowls is back for its 23nd season!

The Rip Curl GromSearch returns for its 23nd Season this June, and yet again, we have an action-packed schedule with regional qualifying stops in California, Hawaii and Florida. In a very exciting new edition to this year’s GromSearch Series, Rip Curl has aligned with the Palm Springs Surf Club to present “Path To The Pool”, the site of this year’s National Final where we will crown our North American GromSearch Champions in October!

All four division winners (16 & under boys, 16 & under girls, 14 & under boys, and 12 & under boys) from each regional qualifying event, will be making their way to Palm Springs, California, to compete for a chance to claim the Rip Curl GromSearch National Final Crown.

The 2023 GromSearch season would not be possible without the tremendous support of its amazing sponsors. Special thanks to Banzai Bowls, Flexfit, YETI, Sun Bum, GoPro, FCS, Lost Surfboards, Oakley, Softech Surfboards and Wahoos!
